Razor Crest
The Mandalorian's Razor Crest spaceship is based on RJMBricks' creation.
Space shuttle
The space shuttle has cargo bay doors. Astronauts can work inside or go on an untethered space walk with a manned maneuvering unit (MMU). (August 2019)
Space train
James created this spaceship with hinged doors. He was inspired by the hinged doors in the warp drive space ship. He added the new feature of a transparent roof. (August 2019)
Space transporter MKII
Uncle Andrew and James modified the spaceship. Uncle Andrew added a hinged roof. James raised the roof so astronauts could stand up. (August 2019)
Space transporter MKI
Warp drive spaceship MKII
This spaceship's 2 warp drive engines have been extended so it can blast off vertically.
Warp drive spaceship
This spaceship is powered by a warp drive engine. The two tubes on either side of the ship are part of the massive warp drive engine. Warp drive is a revolutionary invention for space travel in the Lego universe because spaceships can now go faster than the speed of light.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 670 million miles per hour! Moving at the speed of light, the spaceship can go around the Earth 8 times in just 1 second. So this spaceship can easily travel from one solar system to another. Sadly warp drive doesn't exist in the real world.
STV - Space Terrain Vehicle
2 seater space shuttle
The rear astronaut sits higher than the pilot so he has a good view forwards. Also at the rear is a cabinet that holds the two astronauts' oxygen tanks, which they wear when they explore a planet's surface.

Optica space explorer Mk I - a marvel of invention!
The Optica is the first space vehicle to have ordinary jet engines on top. The spaceship needs holes on top for the engines' studs to be pressed into. How do we get holes on top? We use our imagination to use special pieces in new ways! Of course the jet engines have been converted to rocket engines because there is no air in space.
The Optica is also the first vehicle to use cheese wedges to join pieces upside down. These small simple pieces can fit into the bottom of a plate and the bottom of a brick. Press the bottoms of the plate and brick together and - hey presto - they're now joined together!

Optica Mk II
What's better than four rockets at the back? Six rockets at the back! Optica spaceship Mk II has two rockets on top, two on the bottom and one on each side.
The Solar-Class Space Shuttle
This spacecraft has two rocket engines. It can travel across our solar system to its very edge. On its way through our solar system it will pass through asteroid belts and go past the last planet Neptune and past the dwarf planet Pluto.
Milky-Way-Class Space Shuttle
This spacecraft has more power! It has four rocket engines that give it enough power to travel from our solar system to the next solar system. In the next system it will find another sun and more planets. Our solar system and the ones around us form a galaxy called the Milky Way.
Milky-Way-Class Space Shuttle MKII
This spacecraft has even more power! With its bigger main rocket engine it can travel from solar system to solar system even faster.

Astro Arrow I
Astro Arrow II
AAII has better access to the rear compartment. The top and sides are now hinged using rocker bearing bricks. Now cargo can be stored and unloaded easily. The rear bay isn't just for cargo though. The bay doors can be opened to allow an astronaut to leave the spaceship with a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU). The MMU is a backpack that has small thrusters that can propel the astronaut through space. The thrusters use compressed gas. Because the gas is compressed, when the gas is released it rushes out and pushes the astronaut in the opposite direction. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is Sir Isaac's Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The Bullet ship Mk I
Bullet Mk II
Quick Creation Challenge
James gave Uncle Andrew a challenge: to build something interesting in a just few minutes and with only a few different parts. Uncle Andrew rapidly put pieces together to see how they looked, and took them apart again if he wasn't happy. Eventually he created the Space speeder that used the special cockpit nose piece below. Building quickly with just a few parts helps you to think creatively.

The Clarkson P-type spaceship
P stands for power! This is the spaceship Jeremy Clarkson would build ... because he loves giving vehicles more power! It has 3 rocket engines at the back for rocketing around in space. But it has 8 jet engines for jetting around in the sky when he's still in Earth's atmosphere. 2 jet engines can tilt, so they give the spaceship vectored thrust. It has a sliding canopy, so there's plenty of room for Jeremy to get in and out.
With its rocket engines it can fly 30,000 miles per hour. It needs to fly so fast because any spaceship must fly at least 25,000 miles per hour to leave the Earth and go into space. This speed is called 'escape velocity'.
With just its jet engines it can fly 2,400 miles per hour. So each engine gives it a speed of 300 miles per hour.

The X-celsior
The name is a play on words. The wings form an X, and excelsior is a word that is used to name products that people think are excellent. The X-wings can change angles. The bottom pair of wings become horizontal to allow the spacecraft to land. Special bricks called 'rocker bearings' allow the pilot to change the angle of the wings.
